Answer 1

Dear Helen,
Thank you for your email. Now I would like to tell you something about the extracurricular reading in our school. I’m sorry to say that most of the students in our school haven’t realized the importance of reading, especially extracurricular reading, as a result, the time and energy students devoted to reading are very limited. Besides, some students prefer to read cartoons, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.
I think the reasons behind that are various. First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Reading can help us think better and make our life more colorful. So it is quite necessary for the students to take up reading and for the teachers to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read.
Best wishes!
Yours
Lihua

試題分析：考查半開放性作文寫作。半開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強(qiáng)的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。這篇作文是關(guān)于中學(xué)生課外閱讀情況的調(diào)查報告�？忌�可以從本校學(xué)生的閱讀情況入手，每天閱讀時間為多少，一個月要讀多少本書等等。分析原因可以從學(xué)習(xí)的時間太長，留給閱讀的時間不夠等。在保證內(nèi)容要點全部概括的基礎(chǔ)上可以充分發(fā)揮自己的想象，進(jìn)而用自己的語言來表達(dá)某種觀點或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語語言表達(dá)能力。首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發(fā)表個人觀點的時候，可以使用諺語來提升整個文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
【亮點說明】所給范文語言簡潔，應(yīng)用了一些較好的詞組和句子： as a result因此, prefer to do… rather than do…寧愿做…而不愿…，be burdened with負(fù)擔(dān)， form a habit of 形成…，the time and energy students devoted to reading are very limited.這句話用了定語從句， So it is quite necessary for the students to take up reading and for the teachers to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. 這句話用了it做形式主語和so that句型還有范文使用了Besides, First of all, However,這樣的關(guān)聯(lián)詞使文章更加連貫。
